Thank you, Adam, for this lovely piece on my son, Jonathan. Since I brought this beautiful baby into the world in our home just outside London on one snowy night, he has always been an interesting, smart and loving son.

Good morning my darling,
I just packed up a large envelope of “stuff”
from the past which I shall send to you seeing that you are in the mood! Much love, your old Mum
Thank you so much Dennis for your very kind words about my son, Jonathan, and indeed gratitude to all the other writers and followers of Humble Dollars. I love my son, his siblings, and we are devastated by this downturn in Jonathan’s health, and yet so proud of his fortitude under these circumstances.
I love the "evening" and so will you, sweetheart! Wonderful, loving children and grand children, good friends and fortunate enough to be able to do a 5K in 45 minutes. Your old Mum
Jonathan's old Mum writing -- I live in a CCRC in South Florida -- a few facts and opinions. I moved in when I was 79 years old. My apartment is on the first floor, approximately 1300 sq. feet. I have a large living area with two bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and a charming patio. Residents live in 3-storey buildings on a beautifully landscaped campus of about 80 acres. In late 2018 I paid $300.000 which allows me to live here until I die -- I may move into Assisted Living or Skilled nursing when appropriate. My monthly fee which includes dinner and utilities is a little more than $4,000. We have a state of the art gym, daily exercise classes, wellness centers, and other activities such as you would expect in a community of lively and increasingly younger residents. Having been raised in post war Britain, my first reaction was this place where I had decided to spend my latter years was a cross between boarding school and a cruise ship that didn't move!
Today is Jonathan's 60th birthday, and as his Mum I would like all his readers to know how proud I am of him, not only as a fine human being, but also as a a person with a strong work ethic. Thank you for so much love and caring and all that you do for our large family.

I promised not to leave a "mess". In return, if you must sell the family heirlooms, please give the money to my favorite charity. Your old Mum!
